Ingredients
- Chicken sausage, sliced: 1 pound
- Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed: 2 medium
- Garlic, minced: 4 cloves
- Honey: 3 tablespoons
- Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Red pepper flakes: 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer.
- Step 2: Bake sweet potatoes for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and add the sliced chicken sausage to the baking sheet. Toss to combine with the sweet potatoes.
- Step 3: While the sausage and sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Step 4: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the sausage and sweet potato mixture. Toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Step 5: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sausage is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Step 6: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results when reheating, spread the mixture on a baking sheet and warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, preventing sogginess.
- Serve this dish over a bed of quinoa or brown rice to soak up the delicious honey garlic sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; use two if necessary, to ensure the sweet potatoes and sausage caramelize nicely.
